Draft Grade — Giants
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Grand theft in pick 159: the Giants steal Singleton and grade out a A.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Nicholas Singleton got past him. The Giants do not have to explain a thing at pick 159. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Braden Smith gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get juice off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
The board had Omarion Hampton higher than the 33rd overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick45 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at the 45th pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in slot 66, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick81 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malachi Moore in pick No. 81. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Taking Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 134 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Circle this one: Nicholas Singleton at No. 159 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
